DharmaNet International's Internet clearinghouse for Buddhist study
and practice resources has been online since 1991. Dharmanet hosts
its own in-house databases and collections, as well as providing links
to worldwide online Buddhist resources, large and small.

DharmaNet has been the labor of love of Kondanna, Barry Kapke, who
was unable to continue DharmaNet due to illness. We salute Kondanna's
efforts and are honored to shepherd DharmaNet forward.

DharmaNet is an initiative of Ashoka. Ashoka offers
online courses for beginners and experienced practitioners
in all aspects of dharma, with emphasis on the application
of wisdom and compassion in our lives and in the world.

The new DharmaNet is providing an independent, non-sectarian informational
and educational resource on Buddhism to the ever-widening world-wide
audience of people impacted by Buddhism. While there are hundreds
of Buddhist web sites, there is still no seminal, non-sectarian informational
and educational web site that presents the full range of the Dharma
to those seeking to engage the teachings.

DharmaNet’s Learning Center provides a broad and deep selection
of information and teachings on Buddhism. Here you can learn
about Buddhism – what it is, how it is practiced. The Learning Center
introduces you to all the important aspects of Buddhism along with
links to the best materials on the Web.

In order to facilitate communication and cooperation among worldwide
Buddhist communities, organizations, and initiatives, DharmaNet will
be providing a comprehensive learning center, searchable directory
of international organizations, resources, and teachers, and mechanisms
for networking among students, teachers, and like-minded people.

DharmaNet's Media Center will offer documentary and teaching videos,
photo essays, Dharma TV, and news, as well as connections to publishers,
bookstores, and services.

Please check back regularly, as we are now actively developing DharmaNet.
